VV-8-35 on Buffalo CL

Post by ejackett »

Here's another interesting machine i saw today on the Buffalo CL.
Is it worth the money being asked?? Cabinet looks fairly nice.

This 8-35 does not have a complete set of the original albums, which are a key part of the charm of this set. I sold my 8-35 a couple of years ago, but I had spent years collecting good condition correct albums. Mine sold for $3050 on Ebay, but that is a pretty good price. I originally paid $1200 for my 8-35 about ten years ago, but it only had three good albums. There is guy on this forum who has reproduced the leatherette spines that you can paste on the backs of regular albums to get the look. I don't know if he still has any for sale, and I have only seen pictures of these repro spine backs.

No photos of the playing area. That's a red flag for me. And the price, that's high for this in this condition.
